Group Interview: Seemed to be the normal NASA exercise reported at other interviews. All candidates had a piece of paper with instructions and first 5 mins was taken up by reading your individual instructions. Total 30 mins for the exercise you had to come up with an ideal candidate (There were 8 to choose from). All candidates had differing instructions but not contradictory. There is no right answer but will ask how you came to that conclusion. Simulator Breifing & Assessment: We were briefed by a couple of simulator instructors through the profile in more detail. (Same one sent when interview date was confirmed). This was very helpful, they said the expect you to know it but it wasn't an assessment as such. They wanted to see general raw instrument flying scan and if you were reachable. Did the first ILS, go around and the instructor took control at the level off and gave some pointers then I did one more ILS and landed. Overall great experience. I did not do real sim practice prior just a PC practice which helped alot. Tech Quiz: Overall nothing unexpected here. Typically range of questions, some PPL...

Mar 21, 2024 We mainly focus on why Cathay Pacific, why not other airlines. To be honest, that's a very tough question to answer to convince the other party. I think I wasn't giving the why enough to make it reasonable. Obviously, we talked about Cathay Pacific's fleet, how much I know about the company and Hongkong. I think the way they asked the question is to know how serious you want to come to Hongkong and why you love to live in Hongkong, which is very different from any interview that I had in the...
